Ruby Datavision Bridge

The Ruby DataVision Bridge (RDB) makes it easy to use DataVision GUI report designer and then execute
the XML report definition from Ruby on Rails
In theory it could be adapted to work with other ruby web frameworks.

The ruby datavision bridge is developed and maintained by Luke Galea
The latest version of RDB can be found on the RDB Web page
New releases are also announced on Freshmeat and on the RDB mailing list
